got this from my discrete maths textbook :
Hofstadter(a mathematician) points out that when you start a mathematical argument with
if, let or suppose, you are stepping into a fantasy world where not only are all the facts of the real world true but
whatever you are supposing is also true. once you are in that world, you can suppose something else. that sends you into a subfantasy world where not
only is everything in the fantasy world true but also the new thing you are supposing. of course you can continue stepping into new subfantasy worlds in this way indefinitely.
gasp.
so maths isn't only about calculations.
i'm seriously going bonkers.
had 2 hours of "tuition" on c++ this afternoon with anthony.
haha.
rollerbladed after that!
and retail therapy thereafter.
those cleared my mind for some time.
back to sets. and more sets.
save me.
take me with you
